Big Bend National Park: Mexico, the United States, and a Borderland Ecosystem is the story of binational cooperation along the Rio Grande/Río Bravo corridor. Audiences in Mexico and the United States may find compelling the description of public and private efforts to create a unique memorial to friendship, even as it reveals how often cultural differences get in the way.
